Microtubules act as cellular ‘rheostat’ to control insulin secretion
Microtubules — cellular “highways” that deliver cargo to the cell membrane for secretion — have a surprising role in pancreatic beta cells. Instead of facilitating glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, they limit it, a team of Vanderbilt investigators reported recently in Developmental Cell. Read MoreDec 3, 2015
